Author Alan Fitzpatrick to share story of Lenape leader Bemino at Dover Library

Historian discusses his book ‘Vengeance is Mine: The Untold Story of Bemino, Known as Killbuck’ Nov. 17, exploring Native American history in the Ohio Valley

Alan Fitzpatrick Submitted

Author and historian Alan Fitzpatrick will speak about his 2024 nonfiction history book “Vengeance is Mine: The Untold Story of Bemino, Known as Killbuck” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at the Dover Public Library, 525 N. Walnut St.

The book tells the story of Bemino, a Lenape war captain and medicine man who fought during the conflict between Native Americans and colonists in the late 1700s. Set in the South Potomac Valley, now part of West Virginia, the story highlights Bemino’s command of English, which gave him an advantage over his colonial adversaries during the French and Indian War. His ability to communicate and strategize allowed him to plan ruses and ambushes that influenced the war’s outcome. After the war, Bemino returned to his father, Netawattwees, in what is now Newcomerstown. A book signing will follow the program.

Born and raised in Canada, Fitzpatrick has lived in West Virginia since 1973. A Kent State University graduate, he worked at the West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville before moving to the Wheeling area, where he ran a retail carpet business for 33 years. Fascinated by early frontier history of the Upper Ohio Valley, Fitzpatrick helped found “Fort Henry Days” in 1997, a living-history reenactment of the 1782 final battle of the American Revolution held each Labor Day weekend at Oglebay Park in Wheeling.

His other nonfiction works include “Wilderness War on the Ohio,” “In Their Own Words,” “The Place of the Skull,” “The White Indians,” “Captives and Kin in the Ohio Country,” “The Untold Story of Isaac Zane,” “Patriot Soldier, Loyalist Spy” and “Captured by the Mingo – Two Faces.”

Danbury native among celebrity chefs participating in Mohegan Sun Wine and Food Fest

Food Network stars like Scott Conant, Robert Irvine, Marc Murphy, Chris Santos and Maneet Chauhan will descend upon Mohegan Sun in January for the Mohegan Sun Wine & Food Fest. The four day-long festival, which runs from Jan. 22-25, will feature tastings and other food-based experiences with notable international, national and local chefs and food personalities.

One of these personalities is chef Shawn Osbey, a Danbury native who operates his own Atlanta-based catering company. Known as the “traveling chef,” Osbey harnesses the recipes and experiences of other cultures and has found ways to incorporate those inspirations into his own cuisine.

“It keeps my ideas and my artistry fresh. It’s not just about me creating events, it’s also about me experiencing different cultures and different foods as well,” Osbey. “That kind of resonates and translates back into my food.”

“It’s always great to see different cultures; the way they kind of create experiences and then I can take bits and stuff and create unique experiences for my clients,” Osbey added.

Growing up in Danbury in the 1980s and ’90s, Osbey found a passion for cooking through his time spent at home on snowdays.

“We had those big, big snowstorms back in those days,” Osbey said. “We were stuck in the house so my family and I would turn to cooking. We would cook all day. I would turn my kitchen into a little restaurant.”

“I would take my notepad and go room to…

MAYOR SPANO & YONKERS PARKS DEPARTMENT RENAME DAYLIGHTING II “MANY TRAILS PARK” IN HONOR OF YONKERS’ NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE

New Name Honors First Stewards of Land that Became Yonkers

Photo Credit: Maurice Mercado/City of Yonkers

Mayor Mike Spano today announced the official renaming of Daylighting II at 2 Mill Street to Many Trails Park, in recognition of the Indigenous people who first inhabited the land that is now the City of Yonkers.  

The new name honors the region’s Native American heritage, including the Lenape, Munsee, and Mohican people, whose history and traditions remain deeply connected to the Hudson River Valley.  A new metal sculpture, designed by Native American artist Al Wadzinski, that recognizes how the history of Yonkers and Native American are intertwined was installed at the rededicated park.

“This name reminds us that the story of Yonkers began long before our City was founded,” said Mayor Spano. “By renaming this site Many Trails Park, we honor the first stewards of this land, the Lenape, Munsee, and Mohican people. We also recognize the deep history that continues to shape Yonkers today.”

“Parks are where community, culture, and nature come together,” said Yonkers Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Commissioner Steve Sansone. “Many Trails Park will serve as a lasting tribute to the Indigenous people whose connection to this land is woven into the fabric of Yonkers’ history.”

Located along the daylighted Saw Mill River, Many Trails Park stands as a symbol of respect, remembrance, and unity. The park’s name was chosen to reflect the many paths,…

SPEAKER ON NOVEMBER 22 ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY AND FIBER TRADITIONS

ARKVILLE — Justin Wexler, noted scholar of Lenape history and culture, will give an illustrated talk as the last of Catskills Folk Connection’s activities associated with its exhibit “Indigenous Delaware County: Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Traditions.” On Saturday, November 22 at 10:00am (note time change), he will speak at the auditorium of the Catskill Watershed Corporation, 669 Co. Hwy 38, Arkville NY 12406, about the broader culture and history of pre-colonial Native Americans in the Northeast, including Lenape and Haudenosaunee fiber traditions. Not a Native American himself, Mr. Wexler has immersed himself in the study of the ecology of the forest that surrounds his Cairo home and the lifeways of its original inhabitants.  He has gained a BA in History and Anthropology from Marlboro College, and both a Master of Arts Degree in Teaching and a Professional Certificate in Environmental Policy from Bard College. He is well-known as a speaker in the Catskills and Hudson Valley, on land and on the water.  He and his wife, Anna Plattner, offer programs in Native American history, ethnoecology, forest farming and eco-camping through their educational organization Wild Hudson Valley, with a mission to “inspire learning and build connection through shared experiences in nature.”

“Justin has been invaluable in creating Catskills Folk Connection’s exhibit of Mohawk and Lenape fiber arts, with his deep knowledge not only of history but also botany and ecology that represents the context of these Native American nations’ fiber traditions,” says Catskills Folk Connection’s Executive Director, Ginny Scheer. The exhibit can be seen in the Erpf gallery of the Catskill Center, 43355 State Highway 28, Arkville NY  12406, Wednesdays through Sundays, 10 am to 4 pm. The exhibit features Lenape artist Theresa Johnson’s baskets, Mohawk artist Marilyn Isaac’s fingerwoven traditional sashes  and Mohawk artist Wilma Cook…

United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq-UNAMI بعثة الأمم المتحدة العراق

Press Statement United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General Thank you for attending this press conference on this memorable day in Iraq’s democratic process. This morning, we had the honor of visiting a number of polling centers in Baghdad, and in the evening, I will also visit a number of polling centers in Basra. UNAMI officials will be deployed to all Iraqi governorates to view and follow up on the progress of the voting process in polling centers. I am pleased to see this turnout of voters, and the good organization demonstrated by the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC). What I have seen today is evidence of the great efforts made by the Commission to ensure the technical and administrative readiness to hold orderly parliamentary elections. Today, is a democratic milestone in which the Iraqi people celebrate the exercise of their constitutionally guaranteed right to choose their representatives freely, responsibly and honestly, in a scene that embodies their free will and their adherence to the democratic choice towards building a more secure, stable and prosperous future, in order to build an Iraq for all, an Iraq of pride and dignity. It is a day in which Iraqis reaffirm that the voice of the citizen is the source of legitimacy, and that conscious and responsible participation is the basis for consolidating democracy and strengthening trust in institutions, where there is no space for corruption, and no place for nepotism. It is the time for an Iraq free of negative phenomena. For more than two decades, UNAMI has successfully contributed to the organization of several national elections (thirteen electoral processes), in accordance with international standards. What we are witnessing today is the fruit of this long process of cooperation, and a testament to…

Pens stunned in OT loss to Marlies

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins sustained a 4-3, overtime loss to the Toronto Marlies on Wednesday night at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza.PENGUINS STUNNED IN 4-3 OVERTIME LOSS TO MARLIES

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (8-2-1-0) dominated the first two periods, but were left stunned by a four-goal comeback by Toronto.

Tristan Broz opened the scoring just 16 seconds into the contest when he rifled a shot off the iron and in. The swift tally marked the third-fastest goal to start a game in Penguins franchise history.

At the end of the first, the Penguins had out-shot the Marlies 12-5, but only had a one-goal lead for their efforts. That changed when Wilkes-Barre/Scranton started the second period with a bang. Atley Calvert chipped in a rebound less than two minutes into the frame.

Eight minutes later, Boko Imama scored his first goal of the season. Imama’s shot deflected off two Marlies defenders before sneaking past Artur Akhtyamov as the Penguins took a 3-0 lead.

Borya Valis put Toronto on the board less than two minutes into the third period. The Marlies cut the deficit to one halfway through the final frame thanks to captain Logan Shaw. Just over two minutes later, Benoit-Olivier Groulx flicked a backhander across the goal line, tying things up at three apiece.

Press Statement by Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq and Head of UNAMI

Press Statement

United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)

Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General

Thank you for attending this press conference on this memorable day in Iraq’s democratic process. This morning, we had the honor of visiting a number of polling centers in Baghdad, and in the evening, I will also visit a number of polling centers in Basra. UNAMI officials will be deployed to all Iraqi governorates to view and follow up on the progress of the voting process in polling centers. I am pleased to see this turnout of voters, and the good organization demonstrated by the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC). What I have seen today is evidence of the great efforts made by the Commission to ensure the technical and administrative readiness to hold orderly parliamentary elections.

Today, is a democratic milestone in which the Iraqi people celebrate the exercise of their constitutionally guaranteed right to choose their representatives freely, responsibly and honestly, in a scene that embodies their free will and their adherence to the democratic choice towards building a more secure, stable and prosperous future, in order to build an Iraq for all, an Iraq of pride and dignity. It is a day in which Iraqis reaffirm that the voice of the citizen is the source of legitimacy, and that conscious and responsible participation is the basis for consolidating democracy and strengthening trust in institutions, where there is no space for corruption, and no place for nepotism. It is the time for an Iraq free of negative phenomena.

For more than two decades, UNAMI has successfully contributed to the organization of several national elections (thirteen electoral processes), in accordance with international standards. What we are witnessing today is the fruit of this long process of cooperation, and a testament to…
